RawStory: Topping Nixon, Bush disapproval soars to highest level ever recorded in Gallup poll
For the first time, George W. Bush has surpassed Richard M. Nixon in unpopularity in the Gallup Poll, receiving the highest “strongly disapprove” rating for a president in Gallup’s history.
The little noticed statistic — publicly noted on Gallup’s poll writeup — made a single headline in Google News. The story, at Editor and Publisher, was titled “GALLUP: Bush Finally Tops Nixon — In Unpopularity — As Call for Iraq Pullout Hits New Peak.”
Gallup details Bush’s falling numbers in a series of graphs that appear below. They note that Bush’s “strongly disapprove” rating is the highest Gallup has ever measured for a US president, though the category is not polled in every survey.
